    I don't disagree that you are obliged to mitigate your losses but my point still stands there is no legal requirement for a non-fault party to provide more than one quote if any.

    We''ll agree to dffer, I got what I wanted the way I stated it, and no hassle using the garage I wanted to, they were happy it was a fair price and paid up with two comparable quotes to look at.

    The claims management companies normally get the vehicle inspected by an independentish engineer who checks the list of parts and amount of hours quoted and the work the car needs doing. This is normally enough for the other Insurers to see the quote is accurate

    They didn't even do that, just had both garages submit the quote with the parts lists and hours by fax and gave the agreement back.

    I was referring to how a claims management company work as was Neil, they only obtain a quote from one repairer.

    Maybe we should get back on track and go back to the op's question in the first post.

    Not sure the OP is even reading the thread any more?

    The OP got stroppy and said that as her question hadn't been answered within half an hour of her posing it she was off!

    We must just try harder in future.
